DULUTH, Sept. 22.-The journeying
members of the General Passenger and
Ticket Agents convention, with their
families and invited guests, arrived
here this morning in special cars. The
guests were received at the depot by
city officials and escorted around the city,
and, with the mayor ard common cOun-
short tour on the harbOr and lake on the
excursion steamer Emerald. They had
breakfast and were banqueted at the
Hotel St. Louis, and left on the $3.50
train for Ashland. They express them
selves as delighted with the jaunt. A
prominent member of the association
said to reporter to-day that Duluth
would doubtless be taken into consider
ton as point for the annual meeting
of his association hereafter. Even
now" said he, II will venture
the assertion that every. passen-
ger agent in the country has
look after Duluth business when
in the Northwest. The truth is, your
city is rapidly gaining a reputation in
Chicago and other railroad centers as
the leading railroad point of the North
west l dO not know of single rail
road now running to the Northwest that
is not figuring on Duluth as the eventual
Northwestern terminus. Five years ago
had you reached your present impOr-
lance there would have been ten rail
roads with independent lines to Duluth.
But it had to come some time. and if
little tardy, it will be all the more graft
fa nit II IN,
Iowa two weeks ago [ heard several
railroad men say that what was wanted
was Duluth terminus, and, you may
take my word for it, within two years
through trains from Sioux City to Du-
luth will be running on an entirely new
line"
The general passenger agents party
left for Ashland this afternoon at 3 80,
and the Minneapolis delegation for
home at 2:10.
